I'm sure I'll run into Vettel's annoying face elsewhere online but it'd be cool if this thread cemented its place as the finest F1 forum by completely skipping Ferrari's launch tomorrow

I hear Sauber is launching too that should be exciting

It's going to be like how Honda broke into F1 in the 80s with Spirit. Probably just an extended shakedown period, going to move to a real team like Williams next year.

I think Williams might still be mad.

That hideous Petronas color still drives me up the wall. The Benzes could be beautiful like they were in the 30s-50s but no they have seasick-toddler-green urinated all over the car with a paint gun. They seriously need a new title sponsor.

F1 2015 PRE-SEASON TEST SCHEDULE
February 1-4: Jerez, Spain.
February 19-22: Barcelona, Spain.

Didn't there use to be a webcam overlooking the track? (not that Bernie would let that thing film anything)

Watching the McLaren video again, one thing that sticks out is that some teams don't put their own name on the car anymore.

Blue because their F1 dream has collapsed into a puddle of tears or do you mean the car will be painted blue?

The only thing I want from this season is Mercedes too make some massive missteps on the aero which they try to gently caress around with for two thirds of the season because their wind tunnel said it was good poo poo. Probably the only way they wont end up dominating again.

Nothing wrong with McLarens livery, looks ok, you haters need to stop jumping on a bandwagon... would be funny though if Ron hired Alonso just to gently caress him over

Ron just announced that the current livery is just for testing and we should expect a different look, and different sponsor, for the first race.

I just saw a mercedes ad featuring a very old GP car going against a 2015 sedan they have out.

My dumbass question is this and simply this.

I see that they were at some form of a track that has an insane amount of banking. Where the hell is this? It wasn't Monza, I know that for drat sure.
